Abstract

This study is aimed at understanding what is Employee Satisfaction and what are the major antecedents to it. This study further extends from this note and investigates a possible relationship between employee satisfaction and employee retention. Employee satisfaction from previous studies have been looked upon from various dimensions like Job Characteristics, Empowerment, Cultural Differences, Training & Development and Organization's Mission. In this paper we test the employee satisfaction level amongst the Airline employees at Trivandrum International Airport - South India. A questionnaire, capturing the above factors was circulated among 50 employees of various domestic airline companies of India. Results suggest that there is a positive satisfaction level among employees with respect to the various antecedents mentioned above. This is an on going research and further studies would check the consistency of our results with metropolitan airports in India. A further extension would be made as a comparison between the Indian and the French Aviation sectors to check whether the results are consistent with both countries.
